Many exciting and thrilling events have happened during your fifth year here at Hogwarts and now it's time to prepare for the difficult and dreadful O.W.L. exams. The best way to get ready for the tests is to practice the spells with a partner.

descriptionHow it works: description

descriptionThis is a partner challenge. Two 5th year students (aka partners) will engage in a friendly competition to prepare for their O.W.L. exams. After signing up, each pair will receive a thread, where they will compete with each other and collect points.

descriptionThere will be 45 spells to choose from. Partners will need to choose which spell to practice (read for) first, and again after each match.

descriptionEach spell will have 5 tasks. Four of the tasks will receive 1 or 2 points. One of the tasks will give 0 points. You will not know the points beforehand. Points will be randomly assigned and given after the Completion Post is posted.

descriptionPartners CAN do the same task, but you will get the same points.

descriptionIf a partner has not checked in after two weeks, the other partner will receive 2 points for that match and choose the next spell. If the missing partner still has not checked in after another two weeks, the remaining partner will be declared the winner. (That disappearing spell you used worked quite well :) That student can then ask for another partner and start a new practice session if (s)he desires.

descriptionYour practice session will end when both partners decide they are ready for their O.W.L. exams. (In other words, you're ready to stop :)

ÏŸIf you are stuck on a task, you can use a spell- (pun intended) it-out option using the letters HOGWARTS. You will not receive a point.ÏŸ

One book I'm currently reading fits #1, so I'll go with that if that works for you!


message 21: by Sha (new)

Sha | 266 comments Honestly, feel free to read whatever you want without checking in with me- I don't think I'd mind. The answer is certainly going to be yes anyway. :) Would you prefer I check in with you before deciding on a prompt though?


message 22: by Denise, Manufacturing Director (new)

Denise (destiny_chan) | 7372 comments Mod
That's just how we went about it last time I played - since it's a competition for points (albeit a very low key one), it's kind of more fun when each reads for a different prompt, so we'd check in with each other. We can skip that though, I don't mind either way. :)


message 23: by Sha (new)

Sha | 266 comments You know what that does sound more fun I should try it out. :D We didn't do it with the last team.
